The 26.4 billion in Huaxia Currency that had just arrived in his account vanished like flowing water. Supernova explosion animations flashed across the card pool interface as Li Jing drew card after card.

"Gold, gold, gold!"

Li Jing fixed his mind on the card pool interface, shouting madly in his heart.

At last, after another utterly unremarkable ten-pull, what appeared on the card pool interface was no longer the familiar supernova explosion, but a collapsing black hole.

The terrifying black hole, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, collapsed furiously, and a glimmer of gold flashed at its center.

A moment later, the animation ended, and out came the sole gold limited UR card in the current Apprentice Level card pool: Peak Apprentice Level Spirit Reader Talent!

Seeing that he had finally drawn the enticing gold limited UR card that had hung before his eyes ever since he activated the system, Li Jing could not help but show some delight.

After he drew the UR card, the card pool automatically refreshed without waiting for the thirty-day cooldown to expire.

Li Jing hurriedly checked the new limited UR card at the top of the card pool: Space Ring (10 × 10 × 10, capacity of 1,000 cubic meters).

"I have to get it. I absolutely have to!"

The new Apprentice Level card pool's limited UR was actually the spatial equipment Li Jing had been longing for.

And it was a large-capacity model with 1,000 cubic meters of space!

Granted, it was far inferior to the Space Ring Hu Yanbo, the Master of Yunmo Star, had left Luo Feng.

But even for Star Level martial artists in the universe, this Space Ring's capacity was not small!

When Luo Feng first entered the universe, he followed Babata's instructions and disguised himself as a disciple of a major power.

He traveled in a luxury spaceship made entirely of C5-grade metal, with a Flowing Silver Guard bodyguard at his side.

Even then, Babata only dared let him display a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters; he could not stuff anything exceeding that volume into the Space Ring.

That showed the value of Space Rings, especially large-capacity ones, in the universe.

To powerhouses at higher levels, Space Rings were naturally worthless.

Only World Rings had the tiniest bit of value, and even those were more often given away as extras with purchases.

But to ordinary Planetary and Star Level individuals, a 1,000-cubic-meter Space Ring was no different from a priceless treasure!

Let alone Li Jing, who was currently just a minor Apprentice Level martial artist!

Forget 1,000 cubic meters-even five or ten cubic meters would make things immensely more convenient for him.

He really could not stand the hassle of carrying his spoils in a tactical backpack, only to have it fill up before he had hunted to his heart's content.

After drawing the peak Apprentice Level Spirit Reader talent, he had 21.7 billion in Huaxia Currency left in his account. A ten-pull cost nine million, with a one-in-ten-thousand chance of pulling gold.

Though there was no pity guarantee, according to the odds, it would only take around nine billion to draw it!

As long as his luck was not too terrible, 21.7 billion in Huaxia Currency ought to be enough no matter what!

Keep drawing!

Li Jing kept his consciousness on the system's card pool interface, performing one ten-pull after another without fanfare.

When his account balance was down to 6.4 billion in Huaxia Currency, the black hole collapse animation, which had only appeared once before, appeared again.

Golden light burst forth!

Out came the Space Ring with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters!

"My luck was a bit too terrible this time!"

Li Jing shook his head to himself. By his calculations, he had spent a full 15.3 billion in Huaxia Currency before pulling gold from this card pool.

In the previous pool, Li Jing had spent a total of nearly 8.7 billion in Huaxia Currency to draw the limited UR, the peak Apprentice Level Spirit Reader talent.

That was not far off the one-in-ten-thousand odds.

This time, however, his luck had been poor. Despite the one-in-ten-thousand chance of pulling gold, it had taken a full 17,000 draws.

Fortunately, to the current Li Jing, Huaxia Currency was just a number.

If he wished, he could hunt Lord-level Monsters at any time and earn far more Huaxia Currency than he needed for card draws.

At this moment, the wisdom of his earlier decision to reveal his talent and sign a genius contract with the Limits Dojo to obtain 100 million in starting capital was on full display.

If he had not had that 100 million in starting capital back then to quickly raise his strength to War General Level and gain the ability to earn vast amounts of Huaxia Currency on his own,

Then, after the Martial Artist Combat Assessment, Li Jing, a mere Intermediate Warrior,

Would probably have had to accept arrangements much like Luo Feng's back then, joining an ordinary War General Level squad and muddling along in the Wilderness Zone.

Leaving aside how much slower his progress toward greater strength would have been, an Intermediate Warrior operating in the Wilderness Zone faced tremendous danger, even with teammates to protect him.

How could he have possessed the strength of an Invincible War God as he did now, able to kill even high-level Lord-level Monsters at will?

Temporarily setting his thoughts aside, Li Jing checked the newly refreshed Apprentice Level card pool.

At the top of the pool, the golden limited UR card was dazzling.

[Current card pool limited UR card: Black Rock C6-grade Spaceship. Length: 180 meters; width: 62 meters; height: 45 meters. Usable interior space: 28,000 cubic meters. Maximum flight speed: 1.4 times the speed of light.]

It was a spaceship, and a C6-grade spaceship at that!

Though it might not be as valuable as Luo Feng's Black Dragon Mountain X81, a luxury spaceship made entirely of uginium metal,

It was one minor grade higher, and its flight speed was a little faster than the Black Dragon Mountain X81's 1.2 times the speed of light!

Of course, none of that was the important part. What mattered was that Li Jing would have what he needed to venture into the universe on his own, without relying on Luo Feng.

Though Li Jing felt that, given Luo Feng's character, he certainly would not refuse such a request,

How could having Luo Feng take him be as convenient as going into the universe himself?

Besides, he had quite a few secrets tied to his Card Draw System, so if possible, it was better to keep some distance from Luo Feng and Babata.

Who knew whether Babata, who had accompanied Hu Yanbo through the universe for 60 million years, might spot something?

First I'll get this Black Rock C6-model Spaceship, then find a way to learn the universal language and get an intelligent Optical Computer and a star map.

Once I break through to Planetary Level, I can try venturing into the universe!

Right, the space secret technique Hu Yanbo used before his death affected everything within nearly a thousand light-years of Earth. Leaving is no problem, but to return, I'll need specific coordinates. Otherwise, I can only fly slowly through the Original Universe.

Even using that natural wormhole the Nolan Shan Family discovered would take at least several years.

When the time comes, I'll have to ask Luo Feng and Babata for the coordinates!

Li Jing thought to himself, then used the remaining 6.4 billion in Huaxia Currency in his account to continue drawing cards.

He hoped to draw the current card pool's limited UR: the Black Rock C6-model Spaceship.

More than ten minutes later, the Huaxia Currency was exhausted!

Though he had drawn quite a few useful things, he had not pulled gold.

Clearly, Li Jing's luck was not that good.

But his mindset was unaffected. If 6.4 billion in Huaxia Currency was not enough, he would try another 6.4 billion. If that did not work, then 64 billion.

As long as the UR card remained in the pool, sooner or later he would draw it!

Come to think of it, a card pool like this with no pity guarantee relied entirely on one's luck. For someone with average luck, it really was not as friendly as a pool with a pity guarantee.

Setting his thoughts aside, Li Jing began sorting through the rewards from spending 26.4 billion in Huaxia Currency on 2,933 ten-pulls.

First and foremost was the peak Apprentice Level Spirit Reader talent he had long been longing for!

System, fuse the talent! Li Jing issued the command in his mind.
